A local library of things is moaning about the crap back end of their systems and I wondered whether anybody could recommend something more user friendly.

They currently use https://www.lend-engine.com/ . I would love it if something like https://evershop.io/ could be used with it’s sweet UX… Any other ideas? 🙏

    Things often have various maintenance cycles that need to be maintained. Most tools require regular safety checks (usually performed by user right before use) that you probably don’t want to depend on the public for. Batteries may need to be charged or changed. Oil changes and the maintenance of other consumable parts. Firmware updates. Licensing (and maintaining a record of licensing) for said firmware or software. Warranty timelines for repair or replacement. Maintenance that needs to be done after each use, every time interval, or only (or especially) if the thing sits unused.

      I would guess that at least some library software would have the ability to track maintenance needs or at leat damage state. But yeah, maybe not the periodic stuff.
